Type-locality: [ Germany ] vic. of Berlin . Type (s) destroyed. Taxonomic notes. The Asiatic populations of P. bombycina clearly show a western-eastern subdivision with some overlap in Mongolia . The west Asiatic group of populations has two contrasting forms (subspecies?) at the eastern edge of the range, (i) the dark bronze-brownish Polia bombycina puengeleri Lehmann, 1998 , described from [Kirghisia] Alexander Mts and occurring also in Kazakhstan , and (ii) the pale fawn-coloured Polia bombycina psammochrea Varga, 1974 , described from Mongolia , Govi Altai aimak, Khasaght Khajrhan Mts. The taxonomic subdivision of the eastern group (cf. Polia bombycina grisea (Butler, 1878)) described under some different names (see: VARGA et al. 2017 ) needs further surveys, as well as the populations occurring in the Caucasus range.
